Go Get Juan Soto

[stevejrogers]

One person claims that a friend in real estate says she has been showing Soto's older sister houses ,that's the kind of stuff that's going on

LOL!
I do like the idea of sending family members, or associates forward for stuff like looking at dwellings and the like, but the BS radar does goes off. For example, while I’d imagine it would come up in a conversation about why the person is hunting but still funny to assume it’s THE Juan Soto that the person is house hunting for, or why the name and occupation would be “easily” given up by a relative or associate. ESPECIALLY in 2024 and the social media environment!

From Metsmerized online:

Soto’s agent Scott Boras clarified that Soto has “begun the process of eliminating teams,” and his signing isn’t imminent. Additionally, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic learned that bidding for the star slugger has reached $600 million.

Ken Rosenthal reporting that Soto has offers from five teams, each one surpassing the $600 million mark. (Mets, Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Dodgers)

Looks like he's the man right now

[Centerfield]

This guys tweeted last night that an announcement is "imminent" and that the deal was done. I wish I knew how to embed tweets.

Anyway, safe to say that there's been no announcement and now his credibility is in question.

[Benjamin Grimm]

@JuanSoto25_ minds want to know. I am being told an announcement is imminent for the 26 year old landing with the
@Mets. His agent Scott Boras was on hand for Snell announcement. The chatter is real. Stay tuned #mets

I just read a thing that David “Ping” Pingalore is a relative of
Pinky Tuscadero and that she has issued a statement that the
guy know his stuff! So who knows....

[MFS62]

If the Mets lose out on Soto (shudder) I hope they have another big signing waiting in the wings for immediate announcement. A delay would be a buzz kill.

I'm pretty sure they don't, unless perhaps it's a pitcher. For position players, I don't think anything "big" is going to happen until Soto is resolved.

So you think that the Mets might have already signed a player but are managing to keep it a secret with the idea of pulling it out
after Soto makes a decision in some yet-to-be-determined time frame?

I'm going with a 'No' on that one.

No. I'm thinking of a tentative agreement that hasn't been signed yet. But both parties have agreed to wait for the Soto announcement because it is a Boras client.
